I mean, sure you don't copy an entire file, but you tend to copy a snippet, or in the end you look at how is done and you done the exact same way (that is the same of copying it!)
I would say there is not a problem in there.
- sild 5y agoIf you are copy and pasting code from open source projects into your own project, then I think that is more likely to be considered copyright infringement than fair use. Fair use is generally for things like criticism, parody, teaching etc. Obviously this kind of thing would need to be judged on a case-by-case basis, but I think you are on shaky ground here.
